Extrahepatic bile duct malformation causing intrahepatic cholangiocellular proliferation with fibrosis in broiler

Abstract:
Malformation of the extrahepatic biliary tracts was observed in six of 88 enlarged, firm and discoloured livers collected at a slaughterhouse. Histologically, the six livers were characterized by diffuse cholangiocellular proliferation with fibrosis, extremely similar to the condition induced by bile duct ligation. These findings suggested that some cases of cholangiohepatitis in chickens are caused by biliary malformations with bile stasis.

01:20Cholecystitis
Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder, most commonly caused by obstruction of the cystic duct. This blockage prevents bile from draining, leading to gallbladder distension, inflammation, and potentially serious complications. This condition may present acutely or chronically and can happen with or without gallstones.EtiologyAbout 95% of cholecystitis cases are calculous, caused by gallstones blocking the cystic duct, leading to bile accumulation and inflammation of the gallbladder...
01:17Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction
Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...
